      Rediscovered my totally-hopped-up Mini4WD last night… and hmm the (option) ballbearings looked familiar…! 🙂

      Out with the callipers…
      wow, outer diameter is 6mm !! so far so good!
      Shaft that it sits on is… (wait for it)… 2mm!!

      Wow, could it be? :smiley16: Is it a 620 bearing??

      Quick quick, unbolted a mZ front wheel.
      Yup, bearing fits into the wheel hole. :p
      But nope, doesn t fit on the axle shaft. 😯

      Problem is – the Mini4WD uses hexagonal cross-section
      axle shafts, and the bearings have hex inner holes too.
      The axle might be 2mm, but this is across the tips only
      and it won t fit onto a 2mm round shaft. 🙁

      Oh well, worth the story.

      LHS has original Kyosho BB set with a $89.95 tag.:shy: Brown usual packaging.

      Ya its probably ~A$20 (incl postage) if you buy from say HK or similar o/s. I’m still accumulating a list of stuff I’m after before putting an order through. Might as well hit it all at once.

      I rekon that grippier tyres would make it flip more.
